Almaty Is The Largest City Of Kazakhstan With A Population Of 1,7 Million Citizens. Almaty Was The Capital Of Kazakhstan Since 1929 Up To 1997. Despite Losing Its Capital Status, Almaty Still Remains The Main Business, Tourist, Scientifical And Entertainment Center Of Central Asia.

The City Name Consists Of Two Words, The First Is Alma Meaning "Apple" And The Second One Is Aty Meaning "Father". Thus, The Name Of The City Can Be Translated As The Father Of The Apples. However Almaty Citizens Are Used To Call It As The City Of Apples Or The City Of Orchards And That's Due To The Emerald Green Tian Shan Mountains Surrounding Almaty Which Are The Place Of Many Apple Orchards.
